New Concept 2 Model E Ergometer

I am holding this post at the top of the site as I expect many people will be excited to see it. Scroll down for new posts as they are added!

This is from the concept 2 message boards, posted by C2 site administrator "C2Bill":

On September 1st we will begin offering the new Model E Indoor Rower in addition to the Model D. The Model D itself is changing slightly (see the end of this post for more detail).

Concept2 Model E Indoor Rower available Sept 1 The Model E is the 5th generation of our successful Indoor Rower. It includes all the proven features of the Model D plus the additional features described below. Model E Features:

The frame is 6" higher, positioning you at a comfortable seat height
One-piece leg design for greater stability and solid feel
Nickel plated chain for low-maintenance and a clean look
Longer monitor arm makes it easier to reach the PM4
Fully enclosed chain housing for easier cleaning
Powder-coated frame is sealed with a clear top coat for extra durability.
Light metallic gray finish with dark blue-gray accents.
PM4 Performance Monitor is standard on all Model E Indoor Rowers.

PM4 Features The PM4 includes all of the features of the PM3 plus these additional features:

The PM4 has the on-board computing power to support machine to machine racing, both wireless and wired.

The PM4 has increased memory capacity to allow for future expansion and features The Model E will be available for delivery September 1st, 2006. Pre-orders are being taken now.

The photo above shows the new Model D alongside the new Model E. The graphics on the D have changed slightly on the monorail and there is a new framelock and footstretcher design that makes it easier to separate the two parts for storage or transport.
